The Last Three Trips

Thursday October 6th, got off work and went lightline striper hunting at the HRBT. I fished the slack then most of the incoming tide and ended up with several decent size croaker and eighteen stripers between 21" and 24.5". Other species that ended up on my line included grey trout, baby bluefish, oyster toads, and black sea bass. Lures/baits for the night included chartreuse gulp, gotcha 3" dark green grubs, fishbites bloodworms, and 4" calcutta swimbaits in natural bunker pattern. I met Matt Anderson out there and we stayed out til nearly 5am.

Monday October 10th. After work, I met up with Marty Mood and tried for the big red drum under the CBBT. The bluefish were thick and there were good numbers of schoolie stripers... but no reds. Oh well.

Thursday October 13th. I got the urge so back to the HRBT it was. I started off with a small speckled trout, a dink flounder, then got into the stripers. I caught about a dozen with the two biggest going...
